I'm with GeekSugar!! I buy almost everything online! The main motivator for me is coupon codes (like the ones listed in Lucky and InStyle Mag).
Revolve Clothing is one of my fav online clothing boutiques because they always have some sort of promo code in circulation and they offer free 2-3 day shipping both directions.
I know fit can be tricky when buying clothes online, but if you find places with good customer service and return policies, it's TOTALLY worth it. I just saved $40 on a pair of full price William Rast jeans.
If anyone is looking for a new pair of jeans and know what size/style they are, PM me and I'll help you with a coupon code. :)

I hate shopping in stores. Its crowded, you have to go on your time off, and the internet has spoiled me when it comes to in-store selections. When you buy from a store you are limited to what they offer, current trends and whatever cracky season they are on (which may or may not be relevant to the weather outside). Just by sheer volume, when you shop on the internet you can get exactly what you want. I admit, when you shop online, outside of ebay, you generally have a brand preference, so that you know quality and how things fit. Now if it is ebay (which I love) you can ask for close up shots and MEASUREMENTS. Ask for measurements and then compare those to you favorite pair of jeans, dresses, blazers, etc. for the perfect fit. It even works for shoes, you can ask for the length of a shoe and the width at the widest point. This year I'v only bought one thing in a store and that was from Forever 21, which I would never buy online, outside of basics, because of their crazy fit and often sketchy craftsmanship.

It depends on what I'm buying-- clothes, bras, and shoes I usually buy in person -- I love to physically try on shoes, buy them -- nothing beats a good shoe purchase. However sometimes you are familiar with the product enough that you can buy online.
Makeup I can buy online because I know what I like -- I know what’s going to work and what doesnt -- in store I do experiment more though.

I love shopping in general, but I split my time pretty evenly between shopping online and in brick-and-mortar stores. I like being able to shop online and get cash back through sites like luckymagrewards.com, but as other people have said, when you buy clothes online, you run the risk of them not fitting correctly and then having to deal with the hassle of returning things. I also don't like paying for shipping either; just last night, I was considering making a purchase on jcrew.com but was deterred due to the $14.50 shipping charge. That said, I tend to buy accessories like handbags and jewelry online and clothes where I'm very familiar with the sizing (like GAP), but I still prefer brick-and-mortar stores so I can evaluate the materials and check the fit.

Instores for most things, however for some hard to get things locally, I will shop online... and I try my best to ask around what the sizes are like if I can't get exact measurements... and then I usually get a little stressed about whether its going to fit when it arrives... especially shoes!!

when it comes to stores i go instore but most of the time after i've checked it out online, i just want to see how it fits and if it suits me. then i'll either buy instore or if i know that online is cheaper i'll buy then. when it comes to tech stuff i'm happy to go online

Prefer in store especially for shoes. I have had three not so happy experiences with buying really pretty shoes online and they either don't fit right or the sizing is off so by the end of the evening the shoes are falling off my feet. Arg!!!
I have a really cute pair of Kate Spade leapard print rain shoes and they didn't come in 1/2 sizes so they suggested to buy up. WRONG!!!
I've tried everything in the shoe and still can't wear them.
If anyone out there wears a size 9 shoe I would be happy to send them to you because they don't fit my 8-1/2 foot.
